May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
It’s a cover, but I love it…and, well, if I am to make a piece for every track on every Simple Minds album…this must be included, for it is a track on Sparkle In The Rain. Probably should have not used these particular lines, either…but in the context of the song, they hold the most…

It’s been so tough artistically, the last couple of days. TICK TOCK TO NOVEMBER!
I had seen another photo in this sequence in which Jim is kissing Catherine’s cheek, but this one is just as beautiful…if not more beautiful because of the eye contact between them. I love these two people so much. They have both given me some of the most amazing experiences of my life this year….
For the Warm Digits guys 🙂

I might get my arse kicked for this. I will remove it upon request…but…I love hearing Jim’s voice isolated like this. I’ll share one every few days or so. I don’t have ALL New Gold Dream tracks. I couldn’t be done for Colours Fly And Catherine Wheel or Promised You A Miracle, sadly. Anyways, enjoy…
